Hive IC story - Discussion - Page 5

This one.

I was suggesting things happen in the Drones territory or related to Drones could be copied over to the Drones forum. You were perhaps a little too busy to write your Haikus Comrade. I have to say some of the Haikus you wrote are very beautiful though.

Snowflake · August 8, 2003, 00:24

BTW, I have edited one of my past post (the little white sail) so that it can be better blended in the story.

Vev · August 8, 2003, 00:58

I was planning a bit of excitement with an assassination! Governor Gustav is to die, but who did it and why? The only thing is, I am not sure how the Drone players will react to that.

Kody · August 8, 2003, 01:35

I was thinking of starting the IC story in the "pre Unity" years. Basically people write about our characters life on earth, what shaped them to become the way they are and how they got onto the Unity. By the time we actually get to the point of meeting with the drones everyone will understand that it really is a IC story, not a reflection of the actual game.

It also means we won't be strongly restricted by what is happening in the game, and we would have developed a nice basis for individual story threads.

Vev · August 8, 2003, 01:40

Like some sort of biography and a story excerpt of what it is like to be in their shoes?

There was a biography thread buried somewhere.

Side note: I've edited and fleshed the meeting post.

Kody · August 8, 2003, 01:44

Nah not biography. Actual story. Basically your character during his/her younger years. Start writing and make it meet up to the point where you are now.

Vev · August 8, 2003, 01:54

The events done by the character would be a lot of things and some of use are quite old. Maybe presented as excepts? Anyway I like to keep a few things secret under my belt and let others discover what they are through personal interactions.

Kody · August 8, 2003, 01:58

Sure, you can still write as other characters. Before the Unity.

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of things that happened with poltics and such while the unity was being built.

Vev · August 8, 2003, 02:04

Old Earth is doomed. Everyone knows that. Some are just more insane than others. Thankfully this batch of lunatics are dead. Blood coated his hands as Vev personally displaced each fanatic with his knife. Sometimes the old ways are more satisfying. The now dead, high council of the Supreme Death Wish Cult will pose no more danger to the UN Unity Project. Their bleeding, cooling corpses are a reminder of the apocalyptic madness prevalent throughout this ultimately doomed planet. With the head displaced, it is time to remove the body. Cannot have the body flailing around stumbling and wreaking havoc blindly.

Massive detonation amongst the fusion reactors and the ammunition dumps rocked the compound. Giant balls of flames erupted from the ruined bunkers of the Supreme Death Wish Cult. All that is left are flames licking on the remains of hate and violence this cult brought.

Before Unity all of us were leading different lives. A story of that will include too many irrelavent characters and hard to integrate together I'm afraid. People should be able to deduce by now everybody's background more or less. We could of course dig up that buried bio thread and post it somewhere if that's what you are concerned, dear Kody.

Snowflake · August 8, 2003, 09:45

I hope we can do the copying soon if we want to. This will give the Drone's some time to react. I believe they will like it better if they have a chance to see how the story develops and even shape how it develops. If we brought the entire thing to them they can't change it even if they want.

That means, Marshal, could you start? Or I can copy that for you guys if you don't mind but didn't want to bother.

Rokossovky · August 8, 2003, 11:49

Um, yea, sure. I may dig up a few posts from the old one to pin onto the beginning.... it will make more sense (and fullfill Kody's Bio thoughts)

Didn't I specifically say it's not a biography.

Rokossovky · August 8, 2003, 11:55

lol, oh breath man. I was reffering to that, I think they got the point of what I meant. An introduction, a beginning, that sort of thing. But yes, your thoughts on the biography.

Snowflake · August 8, 2003, 12:01

Ok somebody make this clearer for me please. We are going to have two IC stories in Drones forum right? One preUnity, one on Chiron? I want to get the on chiron one over fast because I don't want us to go too far before they see it. The preUnity one can start slowly because we haven't even start it yet. It is going to be a big production though, I would have to really go slow on that one.

Kody · August 8, 2003, 12:06

Well just remember what you're doing may put ideas into the drone's head. They haven't 100% commited so you have to be careful about what you say.

I felt that a pre-unity story would be more netural ground.

Snowflake · August 8, 2003, 12:11

On the topic of copy it over, I suppose we don't need to copy the ones that happened in Hive? For example Marshal's killing Jamski's spy. Anyway, please copy your first post to CGN if you could Marshal. Oh, and maybe you want to start an IC story (on Chiron) discussion thread too and perhaps write a introduction post there. Quite a lot work, isn't it?

I agree. We have to be careful not to do anything that might aggrevate Drones. I suppose there's nothing wrong if we only write good things about them? Even if we split up later, nice words will never hurt.

Vev · August 9, 2003, 04:33

I hope the Drones will take kindly to an assassination of their base governor.

Snowflake · August 25, 2003, 15:56

I wrote this last piece last Friday but didn't get to post it since Poly was down. So I'm posting it now, and I don't mean to distract us from the more important works.

Snowflake · August 28, 2003, 09:44

Comrade Vev, please add your murder scene soon if possible for Comrade HongHu was planning to go back to the Hive pretty soon.

Snowflake · September 3, 2003, 09:48

A hint to interested parties: It was the bear who took the pink brush.

Vev · September 3, 2003, 18:54

I'm getting there, it takes time for me to integrate and something something that fits in.

Snowflake · September 4, 2003, 09:54

Take your time. We are not running anywhere.

There must be something something that fits in.

Snowflake · September 4, 2003, 14:34

what is a Pilate?

Vev · September 4, 2003, 18:52

It is a form of exercise that strengthens and conditions muscles used by dancers and now popularised. But in the context used, that doesn't make any sense.

Snowflake · September 5, 2003, 10:01

I have rearrange the reception so it happened before Comrade HongHu stayed in her room.

The last post Comrade Vev has may also need to be arranged. For the last post of me says Comrade HongHu had dissapeared for 20 hours. If Comrade Vev were to do something, it would be before that 20 hours, otherwise it would be too late. Could you move it to before one of my post or jamski's post? Or, another way to do it, is to tell things in reflections. For example, instead of passing the order to dr wujiang, let him report back to comrade Vev:"Everything's been arranged." And most of the other thoughts can still be retained without major change.

Snowflake · September 5, 2003, 11:09

Was that hush, dear Deputy Chairman? Well you were so cruel to sign my death. What I arranged for you was not that terrible was it?

Snowflake · September 5, 2003, 14:08

Marshal, that was all that I can do for you. You have to take care of yourself from now on.

Jamski · September 6, 2003, 07:08

Hey, you're not dead yet, Comrade. But the mindworm plan must not be stopped.
